And, he might lack some of Randell's insight. Besides, most of what Harold writes is about accepted theorem. But, it could all be wrong. --------------------------------- The non-collapse of the hydrogen electron orbit is a puzzle in conventional QM. Puthoff's postulation of an energy exchange with the "ZPE" is just that, a postulate, without any detailed mechanism visible [unless there is something in the paper]. Mills' orbitsphere model of the electron is far more sophisticated and detailed in its exposition, as can be found on the BLP website. Mills' model follows from Maxwell's equations applying the Haus condition of non-radiation, and it integrates with a theory of audacious scope and depth. I've spent hours in the presence of both Dr. Hal Puthoff and Dr. Randell Mills, but that doesn't prove anything in particular. IMO trying to force ZPE, Casmir, BLP and LENR into the same box by saying any of these is "really" another is quite futile in the present state of our knowledge. All that can reasonably be said is that physics is in a crisis similar to that in the late 1800's when the accepted paradigms were showing their limitations and new phenomena and candidates were emerging. While the Casmir effect is well accepted as manifested in a particular family of experiments, its "explanation" is somewhat mundane. The BLP and LENR effects shake the foundations of current physics and will require a long process of fitting the pieces of what is well known into a new picture. This could take decades.
